Love fried gizzards and hearts, order them from my fave chinese take-out place and share a few w/the dog,
Herring in the jar, whether it's in cream sauce w/onions or wine sauce,
Red beet horseradish on hard boiled eggs,
Chicken livers wrapped in bacon and broiled,
Sliced Spam marinated in crushed pineapples with the juice, then baked in the oven (the marinating in pineapple juice kills some of the uber-saltiness)
Bigos (Polish dish made of chopped kielbasi, sauerkraut, tomato and onion, stewed together for a few hours)
Chopped Chicken liver club sandwich w/bacon and another layer w/egg salad,
@pinkcupcake~~~love cottage cheese w/chopped tomatoes, salt and pepper too, or on occasion with sliced pineapple or canned peaches on top~~~yum!!!
Fried cabbage mixed with what they call "Pot Cheese" (or can substitute ricotta)and served over wide egg noodles (may sound gross but is so delicious, especially if you dust it liberally with a good black pepper)
Ramen Noodles, cooked w/the seasoning, drain the liquid, add butter and thin slices of American Cheese, stir to melt the cheese in~so good!!!
Canned Chef B**A*D** "doctored" with garlic powder, shredded mozz. or ricotta cheese, then topped w/grated parmesan.
Farina or Cream of Wheat w/butter, pepper, and artificial sweetener,
Smoked Turkey tails boiled for @1/2 hour then eaten
Tripe stewed in tomato sauce till tender (mondongo???)
Pupusas and that delicious spicy "slaw" they serve with them

I hope they use a separate fryalator for the deep-fried candybars; the alternative doesn't sound like it would taste good, w/candy bar batter coating taking on the flavor of the seafood that was just fried in the same oil >shudders

I would like to know what "mock chop" is, if anyone from the UK could explain please?

if those prices were in American Dollars, you would have some seriously cheap eats!

spiral 'taters on a stick oh yes, please!!! As far as that FFEBFHD, I think even stoners would consider that one a "food of shame", and steer clear, opting perhaps for a bulgogi dog or better still a nice kimchee dog, I know I would be first in line for that.

@smallkitchen~~I sometimes think the difficulty or not of peeling the HBE is proportionate to the rough life the chicken had before it laid said egg before it became a HBE. (trying to be serious but laughing at myself, even)

I love this site, it's entertaining and educational, and I keep coming back for more.

is "Provel" that sort of tangy but mozzarella-like cheese some pizza places are using on their pies?

I made a version of this recipe using some leftover chinese "brown sauce" which had scallions in it, and was somewhat like soy sauce thickened by cornstarch but not too salty, I added a bit of butter and some garlic powder and it was delicious!!!

Definitely going to make this a lot more often, hopefully with the scallions though, and seriously considering making a pork roast just to add that wonderful meat to it.

I'd rather have a nice safe and sane Cadbury chocolate bar in one of its many incarnations rather than eat one of those CC Eggs or attempt to take even a straw-ful of that Mc Flurry...

Definitely would NOT be something I would try if I went to the UK.

@PacoMunsin~~~maybe with some fava beans and a nice kee-yan-tee???

I've got to agree, IMO why go to a patisserie for an ice-cream sundae when you have all that baked deliciousness beckoning to you? "Oh I'd rather not have that amazing looking lemon meringue tart, honey, just get me a samll scoop of vanilla ice cream in a cup"...it just seems wrong.

This brought back memories of trick-or-treats of long ago...imagine someone just throwing in a few Ritz crackers, no bag or anything, just the Ritz crackers so all the rest of your stuff was full of crumbs LOL. Yep, happened to me. Glad to see I am not the only one who feels the gag urge at circus peanuts, I liked the candy corn and the little miniature pumpkins made out of the same stuff. I remember one time getting a little mini-basket of marzipan fruits, oh they were too pretty to eat. The best places to score were the taverns, they always gave the full size candy bars, and just about everyone gave quarters and dollars...hey why complain about money, back then if you made 5-10 dollars trick or treating your neighborhood taverns, you scored bigtime!!!

@supastupa---how about Philly-cheese style, but with all the bacon, onions, lots of both, then the ranch, now that would be awesome, on one of those lovely cheesesteak long rolls. Ribeye meat would be too tough I think, can you imagine with thinly sliced london broil or brisket and all that bacon, cheese, onion, and ranch.

@Deb Harkness: LOL "Turbaby"...I was thinking of trying a Turducken, not now tho..>shuddering

seriously, IMHO, somebody keep her away from the fava beans and chianti!!! (she definitely watched Hannibal too many times).
